I am! I fly in Thursday. I'm staying at the Serrano, what can I bring you for it?

Cool. Nothing, a handshake will do. I *may* be home tonight to get it, but most likely tomorrow. Could you meet IP on Fri morning? I work downtown, maybe 15 min walk from your hotel.

I work for a brewery, i'm not saying that to brag or anything but there's NO way you are walking away empty handed. Friday morning would be just fine, just know that this will be the morning after my first night in town (and likely closing down the Toronado )

Bottles of 3F Armand & Gaston, also Kriek, at your favorite Capitola falafel spot

Armand and Gaston was gone by 5:15. A few Krieks were left.

Is there Cantillon/3F to be found either to go or for consumption in house?

3F all over, usually. Not sure about eighth now, but there are spots. No to go cantillon, but you can overpay for on-premise a few spots, including CBS

 

[tosh1]

If you hit the East Bay there is plenty of 3F to go around.

Thanks!

A bottle of any 3F, or a bottle of A&G? My guess is the A&G that's been hitting has all sold out immediately, the geuze and kriek tend to last.

We have a group of stoner kid's that only drink sour beers that come into my bar and they bought up almost all of our kriek. Gueuze sits around we still have 2 cases of 375mls from last year luckily for me that beats making an etre order whenever I want I have that lambic itch and don't wanna dig into my other stuff.

 

[nothingisreal]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think 3F switched from the 12 bottle case format to the 6 bottle case format like Cantillon for the new vintage of 750mls.
Supposedly most accounts only got a case of 750ml A&G in the SF Bay Area.

If memory serves, Berkeley Bowl was selling 3F Kriek for $32 (750 ml) when I was there earlier this week. I love the beer but that seemed more expensive than I'm remembering?

The distributor has jacked up the price on everything, which is why it's usually still cheaper to order from Belgium.

Yeah, $35.99 for the A&G bottles at AJ's.

Was great to meet Brando and company at the Toronado last night and WinoSF at a cafe this morning! I'm having a blast in this city!

Will be out Saturday and Sunday night if anyone's free!

After 2 hours at Toronado, 2 drinking whiskey and about 20 gummy bears this is what I looked like walking to my hotel room.... with more wobbling.

I still like Zeitgeist, but then I'm not the target market anymore. Wish I could find e.g. Fieldwork Pulp at a place without a crowd.

Available at Fieldwork Napa (Oxbow), almost no one there weekdays.
